Alex Charles

Alex Charles is a Scottish musician living in Birmingham, UK. His music explores layering small audio events into three dimensional webs of circling loops, generating their own internal rhythm and shapes. For a long time Alex Botten performed under the name Thee Moths, and sometimes he plays as Thee Alex. For two years this was a new thing, now it's a thing 'on hold. Extended technique? Amplified silence? Violin, Bow, and Case is an exercise in sculptural minimalism, using a simple contact mic to capture sounds from the titular items that are as far from the "proper" use as possible.
